Shipping policy

Our products can be purchased directly from us through this website and from the Tindie, Etsy or eBay stores. All shipments are made from Spain, regardless of the store used to make the purchase. Read the following sections to understand the preparation time for your order, shipping, taxes, etc.

Processing time

Your order will be processed and you will receive the tracking number within 1-3 business days. Then the package will be delivered to the post office within 1-4 business days.
We ship every Monday and Thursday.

In special cases, such as when we are on vacation, a notice will appear on the page indicating when order processing will resume.

Shipping rates and delivery estimates

All shipping methods offered are through Correos Spain. When they arrive in your country, they will be delivered by the corresponding state-owned company in your country, for example: USPS, Deutsche Post, Japan Post, NZ Post, Correos Mexico, etc.
Once the shipment arrives in the destination country, it is usually possible to continue tracking it through the local courier company’s website.

The shipping cost includes taxes, if applicable, as well as a bubble envelope, a foam layer, and an additional bubble layer.
If the shipment is a Standard Certified Package, it is sent in a recycled cardboard box instead of an bubble envelope.

Shipping Destinations

We offer shipping to the following countries. If your country is not on the list and the website does not allow you to place your order, you can contact us so we can check whether this is correct or a website error.

Not all shipping options are available in every country, as this depends on the postal service and the agreements between countries. For example the Mailbox Envelope (Economy Shipping) is only available in 35 countries. You can simulate an order without completing payment to see the shipping options available.

Shipment tracking

You should receive an email with the link where you can check the tracking number. It can also be checked in other pages like ParcelsApp or 17track :

In some countries, the destination postal company does not update the tracking information at every step during the shipment. It is common that they do not mark it as delivered, even if you have received it.
